LION 🦁 LIUN (OMO-AKIN)

Here we go again with the same stupid, tired propaganda. Mount Zion and others need to understand that the era of demonizing Yoruba culture and spirituality is over. People are educating themselves now, and these old narratives will no longer go unchallenged. Respect your faith, but stop turning Yoruba culture into the villain of every story. For over three decades, films like this have profited from portraying Yoruba spirituality as evil while presenting foreign religious worldviews as inherently good. Yet many of the social problems facing society today clearly weren’t solved by that propaganda. Mike Bamiloye built a successful career from this formula, moved his family abroad, and now returns to sell the same story again. The difference is that people are now asking questions, and many are no longer willing to accept these portrayals without scrutiny.
